If people are expecting the current government to apply an economic panacea with results double-time after fifteen years without power, then I might suggest their expectations might be just a little high and perhaps indicative of a double standard. A fair chunk of the print media sound the same.

 

As if economics is even the only important issue, or even the most important one, right now anyway.

What is then, smacie?

On previous page but I'll repeat here - NHS, immigration policy (important to a lot of people, clearly), foreign policy (how much does Modi buy off us?) and environmental policy, to name a few.

Maybe, I read it in what she says, she referring to blaming  the current scenario of shite on what she did in 2022, which is ridiculous.

The Tories were still blaming Labour for the Global Financial Crisis well over a decade after it happened, with some success. Labour will continue to blame Liz Truss for higher inflation and interest rates as long as they can, and everytime she pops up to argue about it the electorate is reminded how much they dislike her. Then they remember how much they dislike the Conservative Party. It might not be entirely fair, but that's politics.

Some really important things there and agree with u to a certain extent.  

 

It all comes down to how u perceive your sphere ur existence?  Most peeps are feeling poorer, like is becoming more about choices and sacrifice and within there domain there not seeing any improvement. 

 

So stuff about foreign policy and the money we spend in, say countries like India on foreign aid where the have a established a space programme at the cost of there people......it's a really hard sell.  But there is alot of good we do abroad and establish great foreign growth and trade.  Unfortunately The negative out ways the positive.

 

Human nature is about 'sort your own house first then the neighbours'.

 

My wife has worked for the NHS for over 25 years, she has worked multiple roles and trusts.  She would tell u, money isn't always the answer, you need true reform and she isn't convinced Labout has the balls to do it.

 

The environment, we contribute less than 1% of the world's pollution.  China, India, USA are the biggest polutters, we are missing in the wind on a futile moral stand point.  So forget our targets and constraints, use our foreign policy and try and Influence those nations.  Can I tell u first have, in Pooonjab they are building a coal powertation literally every 3 months to cope with growth and demand.  UK needs to focus on itself and lower the cost of its peoples and engage with business on longterm initiatives.

... clearly these measures were never necessary on the first place, as the severity of wildfires due to changing global average temperature hasn't changed at all and so existing safeguards should have done the job.

......... right?

Right. If you are not putting in place adequate means to extinguish fires then they are going to spread, causing the disaster playing out now.

Don't disagree with the article btw and I'm warmed to see you coming around to public services rather than profit making utility companies though :ph34r:

Absolutely shambles mate, in my day you were allowed to have an opinion and expressly it freely. What's happening with all these snowflakes, wokes and limp-wrists taking over our once great empire is a disgrace. Ooooh did Starmer hurt your feely-weelys? Have you got mental health? Grow a backbone you snowflake Liz. Games gone mate its really gone and after this season I'm going to non-league that's it

You would hope that everyone with a brain does view it like that, yes. Unfortunately there seem to be quite a few people, including those and enough with the power to craft policy that then affects us all, that appear to not have a brain on that subject. And that is a problem.

 

And in my own defence, outside the dedicated thread for the matter I'm reasonably sure that the majority of my posts on it have been reactive to people attempting to downplay it as a problem (as above), rather than proactively shifting the discussion myself.

 

There are issues like that one, the NHS, immigration and foreign policy that all matter - though I guess someone might make a reasonable argument that they often come back to economics anyway because they all rely in some way on the exchequer.

 

I can't disagree with the viewpoint in the second paragraph, but as I've said before, I'm willing to offer time to this government to get things right given the situation and I think it a mite unreasonable (and in some cases a double standard) to not do so.

Who is downplaying climate change ''as above''? Confused.

It's again about who pays and economics.  My cousin lives in the area, if say a governor comes in and says there increasing taxes to prevent fires, the mentality of these fooks, is like taxes are rising get rid of him/her'.

 

Nobody wants to pay.....

Agreed.

 

And if you ignore the root causes of them becoming more intense and widespread in the first place, all the means in the world might not save you.

 

It's like the flooding in the UK now - there are a combination of reasons behind it, but if you don't account for the way the Earth is changing, then you're (wilfully or not) missing a critical piece of the puzzle and that has a cost, often a heavy one.  Which will only get even heavier in the future.

"This isn't about climate change..."

 

It really is. That and mismanagement of resources.

 

(Sorry for the direct callout there Otis, but I was asked directly and I'll say here and now you're hardly the only person in here to express such an opinion on the topic, so it is not my intent to single you out.)

Pretty much everything right there, Singhy.

 

The only thing I'll add is that IMO some daft bastards have to think of the long game, for the sake of every bugger else.
